Cooking with our Clients

Living in a city such as San Francisco, we are exposed to many cultures. Every nation has its own contributions and something as special as food should be shared amongst everyone.

On a recent trip to Ensenada, Mexico, I went on an excursion called "Taste of Mexico". This was a cooking course to learn what is popular in Mexican cuisine. One of the appetizers we learn to make was guacamole. At our center, we have made guacamole and salsa before, however, I learn that is is not hard to make it into a cooking class with our clients.

Here is the list of ingredients:

avocado
tomato
onion
cilantro
garlic salt
jalapeno (optional)

That is a simple list, but of course you can fine tune it anyway you like. Make sure you also have a cutting board and a knife (plastic can be okay).

The easiest thing is just to put all the ingredients together, one at a time. While you teaching the steps, give them a little history about Mexico and how independence day in Mexico is not celebrated on Cinco De Mayo.
